Macaroni Grill Gift Basket Giveaway!
We recently got to try one of the new Romano's Macaroni Grill box mixes available at stores across the country, courtesy of My BlogSpark.
Inspired by the restaurant by the same name and their menu items, think of these kits as a high class Hamburger Helper.
They have so much potential, because all of the items in the kit are packaged separately, you can make it to your families liking. When I got the kit, I didn't have any chicken in the house, so I made my own substitution and used turkey sausage instead. I like that the noodles were a small size in the Creamy Basil Parmesan Chicken & Pasta kit I was sent, I'm not big on slurping up my noodles, and usually break them in half when I make spaghetti or linguine.
While my plated presentation was not restaurant quality (lol!), it tasted so good there were no leftovers.
The price of it is fair, I saw it for $3.69 a kit at the store. It was so fast and easy to make, that I will buy it again, I think I will try all the different flavors they offer: the Creamy Basil, the Chicken Alfredo with Linguine, Garlic & Herb Chicken Penne and Chicken Marsala with Linguine.
If you want to try it you can go to http://www.restaurantfavoritesathome.com/ and get a $1.00 of coupon.

My biggest struggles are getting my son to try new things and to come up with different things to make. I have a bunch of recipes that I love but I wanna try something different!

Not being too repetitive. One does fall into habits preparing the same thing again and again
I'd love to win this prize, thanks for sponsoring this.

My biggest struggle is finding the time to prepare a meal after work
I work till 7:30 almost every night, so it is often quite late before dinner is ready and eaten.
My biggest struggle is dealing with all the picky eaters. We are all picky in our own ways, and it makes it tough to plan meals for everyone.

My biggest struggle with dinner is figuring out what to make. I always look thru cookbooks with good intentions, but it's right back the same old thing. (Don't tell my family I admitted that.)

Preparing healthy food that everyone can enjoy is a big hassle in preparing dinner. Thanks for the giveaway.
time was always a struggle, getting home late from work, etc... but now we take turns cooking, cleaning, laundry etc... dinner is never a struggle now.

Presently my biggest struggle isn't necessarily the preparation as the delivery: i.e., teaching the kids that the spoon/fork are utensils to assist with the intake of nourishment rather than a javelin or drumsticks... although it does keep us alert at the table! ;)

There can be quite a gap time between when I pick up both kids at their schools and when my wife gets home from work -- so getting everything HOT on the table and everyone seated AROUND the table, at about the same time, becomes the challenge.
Our biggest struggle is finding a time where everyone can sit down and eat together. We only dinner once a week together.
